he was premature in his intervention in libya. dismisses half the population as free-loaders. he invites clint eastwood to insult the office of the presidency. how is he going to do in two weeks? >> i think you set the bar where it is, incredibly low. he'll look more presidential standing next to a president. the president looks less than presidential because he's standing next to mitt romney. typically presidents get impatient because it's like why on earth do i have to debate this man for this long because he's clearly an idiot. why can't people do that. you know, they don't like it. it takes them out of their bubble. mitt romney has been prepping for this for months now. i think he will do better than expected because expectations are so low. but the debate won't change a lot. john kerry was a supremely good debater. george w. bush was a terrible one. still couldn't even up that race. >> david, final word to you. >> well, i've talked to one top obama person who says that he, indeed, is worried about the debates for the same reasons that richard just put out there. you know,

under cover of bad polls and his comments on libya and the 47%, romney says he's paying close to $2 million on income of about $14 million for an effective rate of about 14%. however, compare that with mitt's estimate in april of his 2011 return. he's off on all three counts, particularly his income where he's off by a third. joining us in washington is jared bernstein and in harrisburg, pennsylvania, robert traynor, both msnbc contributors. thank you to both of you. jared, can you explain this to me? mitt romney does not appear to be very good at math. he estimates -- the estimates he gave in april were considerably off the amount that's been announced today. is that typical of a man who understands how the private sector works? >> well, look, i mean, his taxes are going to be very different than that of most of the rest of us, and as you mentioned in the earlier panel, there was a lot of adjustments made in order to hit a particular target. so i think that all that means is one year you're going to adjust one way, one year you're going to adjust another. remember, these are not -- this is
